What is your opinion about NMA's new song for their soon to be released new album?? ;)
Sounds pretty good, IMO!
-
Can't comment as I ain't heard it yet.

I really like it!
Maybe i'm wrong but don't you think that it has a 80's vibe, Cure-Like?

It has an NMA 80s vibe in my opinion - and it went very well in Cologne :)
Just having a third listen - it's great...especially the bass - very old school NMA - good work Ceri! :)
-
Excellent,love it :)
-
I'm not gonna hit the link above until I've seen them play it next weekend. I think first impressions are best made in person. Though it has to be said that I am intrigued by the Cure comparison.

I like the keyboard part, also the guitar(s) near the end...lyrics seem good too.
A fine, cool new NMA song, hope that more of the new album stuff will be heard soon, can't wait!! 8) ;)

Wasn't sure on the night at the Melkweg, but I'd had far too many Murphys; what I have found since flying back to England is it's really hooked into my head, it sounded better in the Dam than on the Koln vid that's been posted on You Tube, so I shall look forward to hearing it again in Nottingham and keep me fingers and toes crossed that the boys see fit to play 1984, Spirit OTF and Vengeance again. Then all will be happy and content for Xmas!
-
It's a grower, and reminds me of Brave New World a little............ I like it tho'!
-
Found Spud the mariner's vid on You Tube taken at the Melkweg and yes, is growing nicely. Can't wait to hear more of the new album tracks, be nice if the band chucked in another new on at Rock City.
-
I love it !!!
The "whoo hoo" bit makes me laugh sometimes but it's better than the "shananana nana" part in Autum ;-)
What I would like to know is, what the lyrics are about? I can catch most of it but not everything and besides that, it's always interesting to know what the song is about.

Here are the lyrics, as far as I understood them
March in September
There was always something holding you back
Some other world that was calling
Maybe on the mountains where you stretched your arms
We had a fear of falling
They try to bring you their love and fear
But you will never receive it
They try to tell you you had everything that you need
But you would never believe it
So you try to make family
But nothing was given
So you gave them your own blood
But lots of it stolen
And you try to make family
But nothing was given
So you gave them your own blood
And all of it stolen
You took the water from the wishing well
You never saw that you should’t
You try to break all the bad in the world
You never saw that you couldn’t
You can count on everything that you have
He never stops the craving
Aim it all that's the ones that wanna be saved
??? That's then all of them saving ???
So you try to make family...

Awesome, powerful tune I think - has the potential for a real classic! This youtube clip from Koeln has a nicely balanced sound as well:

Love Marshall's riff on the chorus :D Sort of a crossroad of 80s NMA (on the vocals, guitar, bass), Sisters of Mercy (drums), Bad Religion (those oozin' background vocals). Considering these are all within my all-time top 5 bands, expectations are a tad elevated for the new album 8)

Maybe it is:
Ain't it always the ones that wanna be saved
That do all of the saving
???
I'm not 100% sure it is "So you try to make family" in all cases... but at the end I think it clearly is :-\

The "whoo hoo" bit makes me laugh sometimes but it's better than the "shananana nana" part in Autum ;-)
It's not half as annoying ;)

I just don't know how anyone can possibly not like the "shananana" bit from Autumn ;D
The "whoohoo" bits of March in September are entertaining :)
I liked it when first heard it and think it will grow as well. Good to see the lyrics posted here - powerful as always
-
It sounds like something of the love of hopeless causes to me, slight fate/bad old world vibe, ******* top!
-
Honestly, that new song didn't suprised me like, for example, Today is a Today did when i first heard it at Elysee Montmartre before the TIAGD CD.
March in September to me sounds like NMA; with the song Today is a good day i think people who like Metal or heavy rock were surprised but glad to hear such a sounds in NMA (guitar riff and especially the bass line that start the tiltle)
-
I love it !!!

"Autumn" is a good song but the "shanana" bit is a bit grating yeah, here it works somewhat better.
Love Marshall's riff on the chorus :D
I've listened to "March in September" 10 or 15 times now ;) and yeah it sounds like classic NMA, i enjoy particularly the obssessive guitar bit playing endlessly at the end, it gives a quite epic and haunting feel to the song, isn't it?

well first time i heard "Today is a good day" i thought "Cool, a new song from New Metallicarmy!" ha ha :D
-
I love it!! :D
And beautiful lyrics as well, thank you for posting them.
-
I love it too.
genuine modern NMA music style.
powerful beat, good melodic line.
yeah, I love it !
-
awesome song (first top 20 hit?) - hope the relaese of the new album comes soon and there will be an extensive tour in 2013
-
Today Is A Good Day is a driving Northern Soul bassline as far I'm concerned. The guitar that compliments is kinda metal I spose, but not the bass. It's a classic N.M.A. style song to me. I think I Love The World is more metal to be honest. Marsh's playing has undoubtably added a huge chunk of ROCK to N.M.A.' roll......... There's always been a massive lump of Northern Soul n Motown in the music. I don't think every one hears it and recognises it, but it's what get's yer feet shuffling about......... 8)
-
Bloodsports always gives me a blast of Northern Soul too
-
But the best damned thing is NMA are so difficult to categorise, and without opening that debate all over again, that's why when they preview a new album song on tour there are so many opinions. It really is catchy and I keep going back and watching the Melkweg video of MIS on You Tube. Can't wait for the album and the tour dates in May now.

Yeah, with you on that Pazza - first thing I did on the PC yesterday morning was watch the vid...then breakfast and prezzie opening! I think it's an absolute belter...just love the drum beat in particular (I remember JS saying NMA's song-writing often starts with building a tune around Michael's drum beat).
Really can't wait for the new album and tours.

Have to agree with Barty on that one. I,ve had it going through my head since 22/12. killer drum work. remindss me of Inheritance, another with dominating drum work.
